During his Bernstein transition, he ripped an establishment that has been nothing but great to the Score. My guys at Sweetwaters! He basically called them out by name, for not having the Sox game on. Per Jason, he got very mad, trying to reason that they are a Chicago team, blah, fucking blah.
1. If you walk into a bar in Chicago and they dont have your team on, they don't want your team on.
2. They are called SPONSORS. I know they have not done anythng in a while, but you never know who might be going to a Cubs/Sox game with one of the owners on Friday
The boy has no pull, no cache, no savoir faire. He is the troglodyte that wants his game, a bud light (draft), and no menu. Talk to the bartender? 'bout what? She's too smart come at with weak BS. Except try running that south of Cermak and east of State street and he'll get openly laughed derision. A sponsor you say? Yet no tact in how to drop the sponsor status w/o overplaying his hand. That douche label affixes quick and easy, but doesn't go away fast enough. Worse, don't make the sponsor make a call.
Reminds me of another local sports guy who used to ask for a channel and then get it bumped. Flip side, working people like to know you're a good person, one of them, and not too big to think of them. To go on the air and bitch makes you irreparably small, weak, and in the end indefensible.
LARRY! If they don't have an 8x10 signed, you ain't shit. Talk all you want, you still ain't shit. Haven't your visits to Edison Park taught you anything?
